A synchronous rectification type converter includes a main transformer having a primary winding to which an unrectified input voltage is applied and a main switch connected in series with the primary winding of the main transformer. A series-coupled capacitor and clamp switch are connected across the primary winding of the main transformer, where the clamp switch is biased substantially opposite to the main switch such that the reset voltage at the primary winding of the main transformer is clamped. First and second series-coupled synchronous rectifiers which are operated in synchronism with the operation of the main switch are connected across a secondary winding of the main transformer. A first impedance circuit is arranged between a first auxiliary winding of the main transformer and a control terminal of the first synchronous rectifier and a second impedance circuit is arranged between a second auxiliary winding of the main transformer and a control terminal of the second synchronous rectifier such that synchronous rectification is achieved in accordance with an active clamp scheme.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a synchronous rectifier circuit capable of efficiently utilizing a power supply.
In order to achieve the above object of the present invention, there is provided a synchronous rectification type converter, comprising a main transformer having a primary winding to which an unrectified input voltage is applied, a main switch connected in series with the primary winding of the main transformer, a series circuit connected in parallel with the primary winding of a main transformer and consisting of a capacitor and a clamp switch operated opposite to an operation of the main switch to clamp a reset voltage at the primary winding of the main transformer, a series circuit connected in parallel with a secondary winding of the main transformer and consisting of first and second synchronous rectifiers operated in synchronism with the operation of the main switch, a first impedance circuit arranged between a first auxiliary winding of the main transformer and a control terminal of the first synchronous rectifier, and a second impedance circuit arranged between a second auxiliary winding of the main transformer and a control terminal of the second synchronous rectifier, wherein synchronous rectification is performed in accordance with an active clamp scheme.
